"You want what?"he look at the plastic i placed in front of him.It was Maggie's comb inside and i brought it for him to see.His wearing the what i call casual clothes ,the style he did wore when we were under the tree in the field but let's not remember that.I nodded at him and look at it myself too.I wanted to do some DNA with the both of us.Sa ngayon sa kanya na muna and then i'll do it with my father too without him knowing, because there's a bigger chance he might forge it.He stared at me ,eyes grew a little bit wide.He put his hands on his lips and glance at the comb.I know there's even a bigger chance for Ansel to do it and so i will try to please him with what he really wanted from the start.He clicked his tongue."You know this isn't necessary .She already told you—"i cut him off."Yes i know ..but i would really want to do it again and see for myself"i saw his lips opens up a little."I want to have Sir Clinton's as well"i continue.Kumunot na ang noo niya. "It is clear tha
His room is clean..super clean and organized.Minimal ang design at ,from black white ,brown and gray ang kulay na mga nakikita ko only the black dominated the whole room."Are you sleeping on that bed every night?"tinuro ko ang pure black talaga niyang higaan kahit ang dalawang unan niya ay black ang punda.Nababalutan ng gray na carpet ang sahig.Pinaghalong white at brown ang white cabinets and tables and the high ceiling has a ,of course ,chandelier."Yes.I live here"pinuntahan niya ang shelf niyang may kaunting space na lang para sa iba pang libro."Nabasa ko na ang lahat ng libro na narito"humugot siya ng isa at ipinakita sa'kin."You said you love to read ,so you can take some with you"ngumiti siya sa'kin bago 'yon ibinalik at maglakad sa isang bedside table.My eyes move with him unable to focus on something else.How can he smile like that?Is that the smile he always had?Did he treats every each of person who decided to be his business partner?My lips twisted a little.I spin my he
"It was fun ,it didn't feel like a work at all"she gets her cup of coffee and drink a little of it.Sa likod bahay kung saan may mga bakal na lamesa at upuan ,nakapwesto kaming tatlo ..I look behind the tall bushes that will look like you're in a maze game hoping to see Ansel ,but none. Just like the last time ,he lets me bond with her mom."Well, gano'n talaga kapag iyong pinangarap mo noon at minahal mong bagay,napasayo na"ngumisi samin ang mama ni Ansel .Hinagip ko ang sarili kong tasa at napangiti .Well,i don't need Ansel to be with us ,save me or something, it's not the reason why I'm looking for him.Kagaya na lang noon ,masarap din na kausap ang Auntie niya.She told me things about being a school principal and that it's her job until now.It was such a dream for me to hear such thing.It made me look back at my footsteps and the things i wanna do."What do you want to do Azazel after you finish your school?"i put down my cup and look at green leaves surrounding us.Outside is really
If you are now my partner then yes, I'm already your friend.I'm on my right mind when i hit the send button around 2:00am .Ansel manage to penetrate my mind until that time...and yes,really ,I'm on my right mind.This time i know it was right.We are partners therefore we can be friends.Bahagi pa'rin ako ng Aldridge sa ngayon pero hindi ibig sabihin na gagaya ako sa kanila na halos walang matinong kaibigan.Kagaya ng palaging ginagawa ni Ada ,na naulit na rin kagabi,nagpahintay siya sa'kin sa pagbaba.Maaga naman kami ngayon kahit na hindi na namin kailangan pang makipag agawan sa ulam sa dining."Uuwi kaming probinsya sa susunod na Linggo para sa Undas"she informed me .Ilang araw na naman na walang pasok , pagkatapos nito ,magpapasko ,bagong taon tapos , magbi-birthday na ako.Ang bilis naman."Mag-iingat kayo"bilin ko na kaagad niyang tinanguan.Halos taon taon naman ganito ang sinasabi ni Ada sa'kin.Ganito lang din ang palagi naming usapan. Maybe ,next year ,it wouldn't be this way,per
Sinubukan ko namang pagtuunan ng pansin ang bawat lesson na itinuturo ng teacher pero hindi ko alam kung bakit sa bawat paling ng teacher sa harap ko ,naaalala ko ang mukha ni Ansel.I found myself drifting from the way his lips was put in a sudden thin line ,his eyes no longer held the tiny wrinkles because of the tug on his lips,and the way the happiness gets off of his face just to be replace of a void one.Kinakailangan ko pang kurutin ang sarili ko sa ilalim ng armchair para lang tuluyang mahila ang utak ko sa nangyayari sa harap.When i tilted my head to see what's outside ,my classmate's glasses flickered the light towards me and i was then ,again ,reminded of Ansel's face.God!My whole body is against it.Nararamdaman ko pa rin ang pakiramdam ko ng makita ko ang mukha niya at hindi ko 'yon nagugustuhan.That was the first time he ever show that kind of face to me . He's usually smiling or frowning ,but never like that kaya siguro bigla na lang tumatak sa utak ko ang ekspresyon niyan
'Aalis din siya mamaya kaya dapat mas maaga kang pumunta kung gusto mo nga siyang makausap'Naririnig ko ang sarkastikong tono ng boses nya kahit dito.I slide my phone inside my pocket as i slide my notes inside my bag.Isa pang subject bago ang lunch pero dahil sa sinabi ng mayordoma ay bigla na lang gusto ko na lang din na ipagpaliban ang klase. May pagkakataon na ako,nandito narin si Ansel baka mamaya matagalan pa kung palalampasin ko pa 'to. Gusto ko sanang sabihan ang Mayordoma na ipahintay ako but i don't wanna push it that far.Hindi ko pa nga alam ang dahilan kung bakit niya ako iniinform tungkol kay Clinton Aldridge tapos pakikiusapan ko pa siya para sa ibang bagay.As usual kailangan naming lumipat ng room para sa next subject.Paglabas ko sa room ay bumulusok sa'kin ang init ng tanghali.I glance back at the room,how i wish kasama ang hallway sa may aircon para hindi ganito.I face the direction where the stairs through the second floor is located pero napansin ko si Ansel na n
I thought of my Dad,if he's ever real.Asking him to do a DNA test is such a bad thing to do for a child but I just wanted to get off the image Maggie brought into my head.And if he really is?And then?He never cared for me.He let's Maggie go to my School.He let's Maggie to do all the job both parents should be doing but then Maggie didn't even do her part.Nasa elementary pa lang ako hindi na ginugusto ni Maggie na makipaglapit sa akin.She always shut me down that I have grown of being fond with it kahit na gusto kong makilala kung paano ba mag-alaga ang isang pamilya.I envy Ada for it,her mother is a very affectionate woman.She sits where Ada sits during meetings ,She wanted to befriend me because she wanted to know who's Ada's friend.She takes care of her and never pressure her.While me ,I carry my own expectations that if Maggie become contented or have grown tired by the way she treats me ,she will begin to see what I am doing ,my achievements,how I became loving to her despite how
"What?!"naialis ko ang braso ko sa pagkakahawak ni Ansel.I look at him with wide eyes and step away.Bumagsak ako sa couch habang pinapanood siyang umiiwas ng tingin sakin.I tried to catch my breath as another killer thought rush through my brains.He rejected a what?!An arrange marriage?!An arrange marriage!Arrange.Marriage!With me?!Is it with me?!It's me!It is ME! Ohmygod!HE. REJECTED. ME!I feel I like throwing up any minute .Tinakpan ko ang bibig ko at napahawak na din sa noo.Napatawa ako ng mahina dahil hindi ako makapaniwala.I was actually thinking about the issue.My issue.And then another thing surfaces and then piled up into it. When did this happen?Did Maggie know this?She insinuate that they have something before right?And then she ask me if I'll marry Ansel?yeah?Yeah!Jesus!Umiling ako at napasinghap.Someone came into my side and I heard Ansel now calling someone on his phone."Calm down Caza!"hinawakan niya ako sa kamay at pilit na pinapasandal .Sumunod ako and i slowly let
Kung nakaabot ka sa last part ,MARAMING SALAMAT!!This is my first story online na natapos ko.I know this is not the best pero this is a step para na rin ma-improve ko ang pagsusulat ko.Salamat at nakaabot ka sa last part.~~~~In this life ,may mga bagay ka nga talagang hindi makukuha,at iyong mga bagay na iyon matututunan mong pangarapin.I have never been on the other side of my world ,my strongest desire to have it known within me became so powerful after i befriend Ada.She knew both the inside and outside world and that is one of the things i let her enter my life.Eventully nga lang , i got used to her and learned to understand another soul. Things were even complicated when Maggie is around."Your father hit your brother because he's losing so much.Iyon ang nangyari kaya naman hindi na muna uuwi ang Kuya mo dito"I know for a fact,that when i received that kind of smile a her ,i did turn the wrong way."Dahil sa kompanya kaya ka nandito ngayon.Hindi ka pwedeng lumabas ng school d
' I am sorry ,i didn't get to call you yesterday' i nodded diligently as if he was infront of me .That was okay ,i understand .~'We'll have so many meeting tomorrow and i might not call you at lunch''You know the projects were even getting better''You can't answer your phone the whole day''Caza why are you always unavailable.I'm gonna be a bit busy today but i will visit you later'. ..... 'You guys have sleepover?Okay .Enjoy your sleepover Azazel''I miss you'~I sighed again for the nth time .I close me eyes ,pick a glance on my phone again and sighed.Hindi ko alam kung gaano na kadaming buntong hininga ang nagawa ko."Azazel let's go eat!"nilingon ko ang loob ng kwarto,sa pinto kung nasaan si Ada na may hawak pa ng kutsara at tinidor .Tinanguan ko siya at nginitian ,nang umalis siya sa tapat ng pinto naiwan ang iyong nakabukas.Napabuntong hininga ako sa sobrang pagkatamad na nararamdaman ko.Siguro kasi palagi na lang kaming busy ,katatapos lang namin asikasuhin ang paglabas n
The next time Sheylla approached me with her bitchy attitude i will show her the real deal between doing that and being good to me.Dalawang lesson ng ginawa ko ng gabi din na iyon pero nagtagal pa rin ako dahil sa marami akong nakita na paliwanag sa internet kaya naman ng sumunod na lesson na binuksan ko ang kinuha ko nalang ay ang libro na nahiram ko at sinubukan na doon na lang din kuhanin ang lahat ng magiging paliwanag para doon.Maybe it was just me that i really needed much more details with something that i missed that is why kahit saan ay nai- aapply ko iyon.The sleep over in Krystal's house was now quiet planned.Nangyari iyon noong natapos ko na ang paghahabol sa mga lessons na na- missed ko.The farthest i get in this life te more it became now wonderful to me .I am so glad that made some changes at hindi ako naging mahina o kung may times naman ng nagiging mahina ako ay may taong nandiyan para sa akin.The school days were eventful.Matapos ng successful na performance ng cla
Dala ko ang pagkainis ko sa klase na sumunod.Na hindi ko malingon ang kahit na sino sa mga kaklase ko sa sobrang pagka-bwisit na nararamdaman ko.Hindi ko alam kung iniisip na ba ng teacher namin ngayon na sa kanya ako galit dahil kanina pa masama ang tingin ko sa blackboard.This is just so unreal , napaka-insensitive!Talaga pa lang may mga ganoong tao talaga !I can't believe that i experience bullying at this time ,or hour at sa ganitong pagkakataon pa kung saan ay katatapos lang ma pag-usapan ng dalawa ang tungkol doon."Okay guys tapusin niyo na lang muna ang lecture na ito"ipinaubaya na lang ulit ni Ma'am ang pagsusulat sa secretary namin.Paulit-ulit akong huminga ng malalim at kinalma ang sarili ko.Nasa alphabetical order pa naman kami ngayon at malayo ang dalawa sa akin para masabi ko na kaagad ang kinaiinisan ko at ng makapag- concentrate na ako pero nasa likod ko kasi sila.Wala akong nagawa ng mga sumunod na minuto kung hindi pakalmahin ang sarili ko kahit na nag-uugat at nagk
"I'll just see you later"kimi akong ngumiti kay Ansel at tumango.Tinitigan niya ulit ako kaya naman iniwas ko na lang an tingin ko sa pamamagitan ng pindot sa pinto para bumukas."See you later Azazel"nalingon ko ang kapatid kong nasa backseat ng kotse ni Ansel.He's sporting a grim face as he glances at Ansel na deretso lang naman ang tingin sa akin.This time around ay pinayagan ni Kuya na si Ansel ang maghatid sa akin ,sa isang kondisyon ,dapat kasama siya.I know ,i know mahihiya akong kasama lang si Ansel sa isang sasakyan pagkatapos ng sinabi niya pero mas nakakahiya naman yata na nakikita pa ng kapatid ko kung paano ako mahiya.I finally get off the car ,ngayon pa lang ay curious na ako kung paano nga ba sila sa loob ngayong nakababa na ako.The red sports car beep twice and i wave goodbye at them.As usual ,mabilis iyon na nawala sa paningin ko,nilingon ako ng mga lady guard ng mawala sila,binigyan nila ako ng ng tag-isang ngiti kaya naman sinuklian ko rin iyon.When i entered the
Bandang ala-sais ng makuha kong tuluyang bumaba sa kama at maligo,of course dahil sinabi ng kuya ko na gamitin ang warm water kaya naman iyon na nag ginawa ko.Medyo nangawit lang ako dahil sa matagal na pagkakahiga ko sa kama pero nakatayo pa'rin naman ako ng maayos.Siguro nga ay panaginip ko lang 'yon ,bakit ba ako nananaginip ng gano'n? Sinabi ko rin na hindi ako gaanong magtatagal sa paliligo pero medyo gano'n ang nangyari dahil sa pag-iisip ko tungkol sa nangyari sa party.Saan nga ba nagtapos ang party?Bakit parang tama naman ang naiisip ko na parang ayoko na lang din na paniwalaan.Maybe,nahimatay na ako bago ako makapunta kay Ansel?Pero di'ba ay nagsasayaw na kami no'n.Hindi ba talaga nangyari 'yon?Wala ba talaga siyang sinabi?Wait lang Azazel,bakit mo ba iniinsist 'yan? Do you want that to really happen?Bakit?Pakiramdam ko ay nahiya na lang din ako sa sarili kong iniisip.Kaya kahit na nahihirapan ako ay pinigilan ko na lang din ang pag-iisip pero hindi ko alam kung papa'no ko
The party seems like at it's peek again ,but the people is still slowly dancing so i don't know where all the fireworks came from.My mind freeze i think dahil kahit na nakikita ko naman ang paggalaw ng mga taong may iba pang makikinang na damit parang nasa slow motion naman sila .I saw the trees getting so wind up and obviously glowing and i just seem to watch all of it ,but i am still slowly dancing and Ansel seems to tell me something pero bakit parang slow motion din ang pagbuka ng bibig niya ,hindi ko rin magawang marinig 'yon kasi parang wala namang sound na kaakibat ang mga sinasabi niya.What is even happening right now?Hindi ko na alam ang mga sumunod na pangyayari,kung may nasabi ba ako sa kanya bago man lang tuluyang matapos ang sayawan na kahit na hindi ko naman narinig ang mga sinabi niya ay ayoko namang isipin niya na hindi man lang ako sumagot pero namamalayan ko na lang na hawak ko na ulit ang mic at nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng kailangan kong pasalamatan.I was so confu
My father politely nod his head at Tita Letty habang kimi lang naman ang ngiti ni Tita sa kanya."She remained at the top one Mr.Millano.She is really a bright lady"maikling tumango si Tita as she glances at me.When my father thanked her as if there was an awkward silence that drowns us."This is a very beautiful theme that you picked Azazel"bumati na sa akin ulit ang tatay ni Ansel.Michelle on his side, nodded at him earnestly."Thank you po Sir""Oh no!Drop the formalities.Call me Tito"tumawa si Tita sa ginawa ng asawa niya.They all smiled at me na nakumbinsi nila akong ulitin ang sinabi niya."Thank you Tito"Tita cheered with her daughter na nahiya ako dahil medyo malakas at nakakuha iyon ng pansin sa iba.My brother smiled at them ,dumamot na sa pagbibigay ng ngiti na kanina lang ay free niyang ibinibigay kahit sa mga masama ang naging komento sa'kin,ngayon na hindi naman masama ang naging turing sa'min tsaka naman siya ngayon nagdadamot.Medyo nagtagal kami roon na nakikita ko na a
Soon after ay nagdi-dinner na.There were bands playing instrumental soothing songs at ngayon nga ay nakaupo ako sa grand table kaupo si Papa at Kuya .Ada is with her family and so was Krystal at nakikita ko lang ang pwesto nila mula dito sa pwesto ko.I am consciously eating my food dahil alam ko,and i can't feel their stare were towards me.Binigyan ako ng part ng cake ng kapatid ko,the one that i blew with candles bago pa man mag-umpisa ang dinner na 'to.My gown was too big that they have to stand up when they wanted to give me something.Nasa pinakagitna tuloy ang naging pwesto ko tapos almost nasa dulo na si Papa at si Kuya .Matatapos na ako sa pagkain ko ng maglapag pa rin ng paborito ko ang kung sino kay papa ay kuya ng pagkain sa plato ko.It was that Lumpia that i can't say no.Dalawang piraso lang kasi ang ibinigay sakin ni Kuya kanina dahil kailangan yatang lumibot kami para sa mga bisita.I look up only to see Ansel smiling at me ,he even arrange some of the strands of my hair i
